Art.

Rachel sat in playschool this week and stared at the picture in front of her of a door.  Her teacher said they were drawing ladybugs on the door.  Toddlers jumped in enthusiastically, drawing ladybugs and scribbling.  Not Rachel. Granted, she was very tired.  But, when I asked her about drawing lady bugs, she looked at me solemnly and said, "I don't know how to draw ladybugs."

-blink-

She will joyfully jump into other activities such as math or reading or pounding nails with a crowbar.  But she won't attempt to draw a ladybug?  I gently suggested that she think about what shape a ladybug was.  She then managed to draw a couple of circles and stick some antennae on them. 

I think I'm going to start leaving some "games" around that involve her drawing shapes and such.
